Dram is very snarky and jaded. Life has taught her early on that she needs to watch out for herself. However, she does seem to have a soft spot for children, especially human children. She's willing to work with others, but she can appear to be a bit standoff-ish and aloof if she doesn't fully trust you.

One trait of note: she will only target those who can afford the loss. She knows first hand how much it sucks living on the streets, barely getting enough to eat. As such, she's a bit envious of those that show off how wealthy they are, and has grown to despise those who display excess and tend to waste their resources.

She grew up with violence all around her. As such, she thinks nothing of using violence when it suits her. She has prided herself on being able to take down large humans with a single knife stab from the dark. She knows she's smaller than most other races out on the Coast, and she uses that to her advantage; weaving in and out of range, targeting areas that medium sized races would call a 'low blow,' even acting child-like to catch a target off-guard.

She does like to sit outside the city from time to time and look up at the stars. Growing up in Waterdeep, she either didn't have much of a chance to stargaze, or the sky was obscured from her. Now that she's out of Waterdeep, she takes any chance she's able to indulge.

Background:

Dram grew up in Waterdeep, not unusual for a hin in this profession. However, she hated every minute of it. The scrambling to survive, snatching every coin she could get her grubby little fingers on just to keep her belly from meeting her spine, dodging the guard who would more often than not beat her just for trying to beg a few coppers. She even tried picking a few pockets. Her first mark had a live asp in his belt pouch which bit her; while she barely survived, she's had an aversion to picking pockets ever since. She was set to die an inglorious death... until Andros found her.

Andros was an grossly overweight human with delusions of competence, trying to carve out a criminal empire within the underbelly of the City of Splendors. He took Dram in and used her as he would one of the street urchins, running scams that involved children. He treated her like one of his children also; beating her when she didn't meet her 'quota.' Despite herself, she started longing for the days when the guards would just beat her and throw her in jail for the night. At least in jail, she got to eat.

All this changed when one of Andros' children died at his hand. That night, she slipped into his bed chambers and slit his throat. She stood over him, watching him bleed out, and felt... free. Despite how incompetent Andros was, he paid his bodyguards well. He managed to reach a bell, and she was forced to flee. She set the place on fire, but not without getting wounded herself. Fleeing into the sewers, she managed to evade both the watch and Andros' guards.

With the last of her cash, and a favor from a tattoo artist, she managed to slip out of Waterdeep. While her facial wounds got infected, she had nasty scars; that's what the favor was for. Deciding to leave Waterdeep behind, she headed south to seek her fortune in the Sword Coast. After all, an assassin's skills could be very useful in adventuring. And very profitable.
